| Spark plugs, engine coolant and the serpentine drive-belt. I've got a 2003 MINI One same colour as yours with 86,000 miles. I'm going to change the gearbox oil and lubricate the gear linkages this month. |

| Are you on the original steering pump, if so you have done very well and it would be a good idea to at least remove it and clean out the carbon dust inside the motor or maybe to replace with a recon unit as a precaution against future failure at an inconvienent time. Also change the gearbox oil and clean the magnetic drain plug to extend gearbox bearing life. Both easy jobs and not that expensive if you DIY or avoid the BMW main dealer type garages. |
